Interested in what students have to say about being a peer educators?

“If you are interested in fighting against sexual assault, learning more about healthy relationships, improving your public speaking skills, and meeting some of the best coworkers, SARV is the place for you. “

“It’s awesome being around all these likeminded individuals who care deeply about these issues on college campuses and in the world in general. Scheduling is extremely flexible and as students trying to juggle all the things we do I know that is important. Making a difference AND getting paid? I don’t think it can get any better than SARV”

“My favorite part about being a SARV peer educator is being a part of a group that educates so many people, and is a part of creating change within our own MSU community. “

“You should apply to be a peer educator because SARV is an incredible organization from head to toe. We have an diverse network of friendly co-workers, an incredible mission to teach by, and a flexible schedule of workshops”
